Just in case , i would try make sure you are running 64-bit system:-
# uname -a
3.5 GB RAM is a limitation for any 32-bit system (Windows,Linux)

Hello,

I installed Xen on a Debian Etch following this tutorial :

http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_xen_3.1_p2

The problem is that it only recognizes 3.5GB of RAM although I have 8GB ! I then found this tutorial to help fix this :

http://www.howtoforge.com/make-your-xen-pae-kernel-work-with-more-than-4gb-ram-debian-etch-grub

Didn't change anything really...

Does anyone have an idea, how I can remove this limit ?

Thank you in advance,
